JACKSON, MI — Police are seeking help finding the person who early Friday donned a cartoon mask and robbed the Citizens Bank branch on E. Michigan Avenue.

Although surveillance photos from the bank are quite clear, the mask, believed to be a woman's face with dark hair, has made it difficult for police to identify the robber. Jackson police are asking for the public's help.

The man fled on foot. A Michigan State Police trooper and dog tracked the man to the west but lost the scent a few blocks away, according to a release from the Jackson Police Department.

The man is believed to be about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and thin. He was last seen wearing a green hooded Michigan State University sweatshirt and a red shirt underneath. He had on faded blue jeans and dark colored shoes, according to the release. He was wearing sunglasses over the mask and gloves.
